agree
Hey crisitian and picant,
good to have post from you after a long time. i missed the forum last few weeks though
i agree with picant. certified copy is anything but a original and as per UCP article 17 either copy or original is acceptable where the LC calls for a copy
a certified copy is a true copy of an original which has been attested by the authorized public officials as an accurate and a complete reproduction of the original document. a certified copy is an legally acceptable document in place of an original where an original can not be produced for reason like lost or damage or if the original is already employed in some other purposes.

d. If a credit requires presentation of copies of documents, presentation of either originals or copies is permitted.

Agree with you on the explanation of certified copy except for the “attested by the authorized public officials” bit.
I think the matter of who must certify the copy is open. Normally, the issuer of the document may certify the copy of the document. However, in many cases, other parties may also certify. For example, as proof of identity, I am asked to submit a copy of my passport on which I have certified the words “True Copy”…
In case of Christian’s example i.e. “Fax Report”… I would assume that the beneficiary would have to certify it.
Other comments appreciated.
